about

The Life of Riley

composed and arranged by Jim McNeely

Next Wave Jazz Ensemble

The Life of Riley was originally composed for the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra to feature the VJO’s drummer, John Riley. The version here features Next Wave’s drummer and leader, MUC Joe McCarthy, and lead trombone player, MU1 Russell Sharp. This composition makes extensive use of time shifting, or rhythmic modulation, and highlights the vast array of tonal colors possible within a modern-day big band.
